I have a sleeveless Nike Training Gear top that i plan on using and am wondering if I should wear it during the swim. I am racing this weekend. Last time out I was fumbling around trying to get it on during transition 1, well it was a different shirt that had short sleeves, but I don't know how comfortable this would be to wear in the water. I guess I could take it to practice tomorrow and get in with it on but was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Being a swimmer i think it might feel weird since i'm not used to it, but i want to get out fast. thanks.

If it's skin tight and quick dry, wear it.

And getting those synthetics on when you're wet feels like trying to put on an XS.

I think this is what I'm planning to do this weekend. Have a Nike bra tank top (skin tight) that I tested out in the pool and it feels just like my suit. Am going to put a windbreaker on during the bike and will most likely remove it for the run.

Try it out in the water first. For my last race, I wore what I thought was a good quick dry shirt under my wetsuit. Well, it wasn't the greatest, held water and bogged me down during the swim. Lesson Learned: Don't try anything new on race day.
